Hi Toggletop,

â??CISâ? is the acronym for Confederation of Independent States. When the U.S.S.R. broke up the individual S.S. R.s were collectively referred to as Independent States, loosely jointed into a Confederation - hence CIS. In actuality it isnâ??t really a Confederation in any meaningful sense. The only thing the individual states seem to agree on is a great suspicion of the Russians, and much mutual antipathy with each other.

Warm regards,

Kyrie
